"Paramecia are found everywhere in fresh waters and can be obtained in enormous numbers by letting a bit of food decay in pond water... many differences between (a paramecium and an ameba) are at once apparent... most striking of all is the rapid rate at which a paramecium swims about, as compared to the slow creeping of an ameba." -Ralph Buchsbaum, Animals Without Backbones, University of Chicago Press, 1948Sunday, March 7, 2010
